Dennis Meiners is a Portland, Oregon based ceramic artist whose work channels energy that creates a visual depiction of the effects of human influence on the ecosystems shared between humans and animal.
Eight years ago, Dennis altered his artistic process to lessen the carbon footprint of his studio by changing the way he fires his work from fuel to electricity which in turn resulted in drawings appearing on his work. Gradually, as images multiplied, he realized he was talking about something and telling a story.
